what was it exactly that the Progressive Conservatives did that crushed them so badly? What do you, as a Canadian, remember as being the reason that the Torys were crushed?
Was Kim Campbell a terrible PM or was she just in the wrong place at the wrong time? The Torys suffered a huge loss in 1993, but arguably conservative power in the US continued to grow (yes, Clinton was president, but I believe the Republicans had control of both the house and the senate). I just wonder why the Canadian people got more "liberal" at a time when the US people continued to get more "conservative." Any thoughts? Are the Progressive Conservatives the same as the Conservatives? Have the Torys in Canada attached themselves to the moral issues (anti-Hollywood, pro-church, anti-abortion) that the US Republicans have? If not, is there a party in Canada that has crossed over from political issues into moral issues?
